Chapter 5 - Crossing paths

As Yiu Chunxiu walked, the faces of the two people became more vivid. The woman has a stunning soft features, she carries elegancy as if she was born along with it. She was practically like a princess however one look and you could see that she was a warm person. Perhaps it was because Yiu Chunxiu had heard about this woman who stood at the top of socialite n the city, Mu Shu.

How can Yiu Chunxiu forgot the man beside the gorgeous woman? It was the current CEO of Gao International Corporation, Gao Yishen, her ex-boyfriend and the father of Yuntian. He had a cold aura with a handsome features. He had an eyes that could seduce any women in the world, thin lips that everyone would love to kiss. However, because of the coldness that surrounds him, everyone would be terrified of him.

Yiu Chunxiu's heart was beating violently as her hands were sweating ferocuoisly. She inhaled and continued to walk without batting an eye, as if she didn't saw the two people walking in the opposite direction. She clutched on the purse she was holding in her right hand.

Although she had not met the guy for five years and knew she still hadn't forgotten her feelings for the man, she didn't expect that her body would react like this by just seeing him.

She was about to crossed paths with them when Yiu Chunxiu heard the man's voice which almost made her heart stopped.

"Chunxiu?" Gao Yishen said in confused and cold voice.

She feigned ignorance and continued walking, passing the Mu Shu and Gao Yishen. She was silently praying that he wouldn't persist into calling her. She didn't know how to face the man right now, she hid their son to him.

Good thing that Gao Yishen didn't called her out again.

"You know her Yishen?" she heard a soft voice behind her asked.

"No." the man said, "I mistook her from someone else."

When Yiu Chunxiu arrived at the comfort room, her legs felt weak. How could they meet in the first day she arrived in the country? She still wasn't prepared!

She thought that she knew the man before him but when she saw him, she could hardly read his expression. He was a different person from before. She could no longer recognize him. He used to be friendly and warm person.

Even with these thoughts, she still couldn't forgot about Mu Shu. They were together earlier, does it mean that they were dating? Although there was no physical contact, they still seemed close. Afterall, who could get near that guy now. Everyone would be scared, even her was afraid of going close to Gao Yishen.

An arrow seemed to strucked her heart, it was aching so much. She didn't expect this that the guy would still have large impact on her and blowing it on the day she met her fiancé. This was like a death sentence for Yiu Chunxiu.

If she didn't excused herself, she wouldn't met Gao Yishen again. Why do fate have to be so cruel to her?

She retouched her make-up a little then smiled at her reflection in the mirror. The last hope has been cut off, she shouldn't have any doubt in her decision.

After, she went back to their private room as if nothing had happened. She didn't know when but she became an expert in concealing her emotions. Perhaps it was the day that she found out that she was pregnant or the day they broke up. She didn't noticed when but she was glad she can easily fake her emotions in front of people.

"Oh, by the way," Mrs. Zuo suddenly said in the midst of conversation, "Did I already mention that my Haoyang will be staying in the capital for a month?"

Wang Liming shook her head. "If he is staying then the kids can have more time to know each other!" her mother said happily.

"That's right! You two should go out often." Mrs. Zuo insisted.

Yiu Chunxiu smiled softly, "Of course. I will accompany brother Haoyang during his stay here in the capital."

"No!" a small high pitched voice said, "I will always be with mommy! I'm the one who will accompany mommy everywhere!" Yuntian said sulkily.

Zuo Haoyang lowered his head to match Yuntian's, "Then I will go with you and Chunxiu! Is that okay?" he said in warmth tone, trying to coax the little prince.

Yuntian think about it for a while, "You won't steal mommy from me?"

"Nope! Let's share for your mommy!" he said cheerfully.

She stared at Haoyang who was comforting Yuntian. He was good with kids. He knew how to coax Yuntian. He was cheerful and warm guy. He loves her, maybe marrying him would be the best. Maybe she can be free from the chains binding her heart.

"Deal! But mommy is still mine, okay?" then Yuntian hugged her protectively.

"Yep!" Haoyang said and patted Yuntian's head.

"Haoyang why are you staying for a month here in capital?" her First Elder Brother asked. "I haven't heard from the higher-ups about this."

"Ah. I just had to settle some errands and issues here. If I secure that, it would get me the future I wanted." Haoyang explained calmly.

"Hmm.. then good luck." her first elder brother said and did not continue to probe anymore.
